Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad exceeded all of my expectations, and it was a pleasure to stay here. We got a double queen room, and the beds were very comfortable. The room itself is your standard mid-range hotel room, but everything was clean, the shower water pressure was decent, there were plenty of device charging plugs, there's a mini fridge in the cabinet, and the bathroom sink is separate from the toilet and shower area. I don't particularly like this restroom setup, but what are you gonna do? The free breakfast is great. They have a made-to-order omelette station, with an actual person behind a counter taking orders and making your food. They also have a self-serve waffle-making station, oatmeal cups, yogurt, cereal, and a mango-infused water (fancy!). The only thing is that the coffee they offered in the dining room was trash. What you want to do is go visit the Keurig coffee maker by the front desk, which is available to guests all day. Make yourself a cup of coffee from there, and thank me later. There is indoor seating, but do yourself a favor and go out to the patio and enjoy your breakfast outdoors in the perfect Carlsbad morning air. The fitness center is open 24 hours a day, which is a relief and as it should be. There is also a laundry room, with super fast washers and dryers. Ayres Hotel is set up in the hills a bit, so there isn't anything nearby to walk to. But if you're in a pinch and need something for dinner, they make wood-fired pizzas in-house and have happy hour specials.

I had some Hyatt points to use and wanted to bring my 4 year old to Legoland and stay down there one night. My parents decided to come too and we requested to be next to each other. The staff was really friendly, the room was clean, our request was honored, and the breakfast was great! Our room was really big! Overall it was a really great place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip! There was a little hiccup in my room though in that the coffee maker was broken.... Really awful if you love coffee right when you wake up like I do!! Fortunately the breakfast buffet was going on downstairs so it was easy to get my caffeine fix. I would definitely come back and stay here again!

There was no daily housekeeping unless requested before noon. I requested housekeeping at 630am, but my room was still dirty after I came back at around 8pm. I was too tired to deal with it.

The included breakfast looked fine. I only took a cup of coffee which was decent. My kids didn't see anything they like. The property was clean and parking was included. The front desk was just okay.

Easily able to grab your luggage and they do have a few luggage carts to use if needed. Lobby check in was quick and easy. Used our Bonvoy free night award for the stay. Room was super clean. Kitchenette area is pretty nice to have. Mattress was so so. Didn't get best night sleep but not horrible. Weird position of television on wall right next to bathroom door frame (can easily walk into it if not paying enough attention). TV streams Netflix, which is great. Bathroom smaller and single sink but clean and functional. Nice for each guest to have free breakfast in morning. There is also a njce Starbucks with a drive thru directly across from lobby entrance. Overall staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend considering staying here for your next visit to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

I wouldn't recommend this for a family vacation with kids. The tub was dirty with stains, I wish I brought flip flops to take a shower.

I'm also glad I stayed with a friend because there were some suspicious looking people in the area.

Our room had a refrigerator and microwave. TV was working. Bed and pillows weren't that great but they were neat and clean. Bathroom had big bottles of shampoo and body wash...not the usual little bottles. I appreciated that pets were welcome (for extra fee) as we had our dog. There were many areas outside the hotel where our dog did his "thing" and little dog bags for collection. They also provided breakfast and it was pretty good: yogurt, juice, coffee, fresh fruit, cereals, toast and a waffle iron to make waffles. They also have a pool and vending machines. Front desk and housekeeping were friendly. Not fancy, but I still gave it 3 stars.

This is a nice resort with different activities to engage in: boating (kayak, SUP, electric motor…read moreboats), golfing, pool, biking, and even Taylor guitar! They have various types of room available. We have the lakefront view room which was really nice and calming to look at the lake, the mountains, and to just allow the kids to look at the boats. We didn't eat on site since we had plan for various places to eat nearby such as Buona (a fresh pasta place) which is next to Wynston's (a local ice cream with delicious local flavor such as roasted pineapple with cinnamon). This place is a good midpoint to Legoland and SD Zoo Safari Park. The only deduction to rating is due to the lacking guest services agent while checking in. The lady manning the counter was not welcoming, no smiles, and seems to just be annoyed. So much for a nice place when the guest services agent doesn't seem happy to welcome eager guests. Was not even offered welcome drink and I didn't bother to ask less getting more attitude.

You get a pass to to rent paddle boards or kayak but kids can't do it so you will pay $20 to do a paddle boat. They have a fire pit and give you smore packet to make smores. The reason for the 3 stars goes toward the staff and manager Andrew. They told me over and over that they offer shuttle service to and from golfing and their restaurant which is less thank half a mile away. Walking distance. When I called for them to pick me up, the girl at the restaurant never got a hold of someone so I waited. When I went back she's like no one answered and I said well were you ever going to tell me? She calls again 3x no answer. I call with my phone some guy answers. Said that someone from the restaurant needed to call. I pass the girl the phone. I hear him tell her we are busy and can't pick anyone up. He was on speaker. She noticed he was being unprofessional and she took it out of speaker. Get back and talk to a manager Andrew to tell him the experience. He basically sweeps it under the rug and said he was the only one there and he didn't answer the call. Other reason for low rating is the wait time in the counter. Seems like There's a lot of people in the back but only one person helping. People had to wait for bikes and check in checkout. It was a bit of a cluster. Overall nice stay. The cleaners and maintenance crew were super nice and friendly. Worth the money paid for the experience and the amenities.

I mentioned it's for my birthday and we were bringing our 18 months old baby. Again then I assumed we would get something for my birthday or a little toy or stuffed animal for our baby. Nothing. Nothing was mentioned at check in. Nothing was in our room. I would've expected less if they didn't text us ahead and ask about it. Hotel room was fine. I used Suite Upgrade Award to get a suite. One knob in shower was broke. The cooler is just a cooler and not a refrigerator, wish it was one. Valet was very slow on the weekend. We waited at least 30 mins. Make sure you plan ahead. Also when we arrived, they didn't have the luggage cart ready either. We waited for a cart and also waited a while for luggage to arrive our room. Overall a very underwhelming experience.

The shower drain was also clogged and the housekeeping give attitudes when setting up the sofa bed.

We also booked the top golf suite during our stay but was told there are not working AC inside and the TV wasnt working properly.

Their hotel next door does not charge for parking. They have a nice breakfast and a Wednesday Happy Hour, too. Bonus is the full kitchen. I have a suite with a separate bedroom, which is great! Housekeeping is great too! Keep this hotel in mind.

We needed a convenient spot near(ish) to Escondido for one night within the Hilton family of hotels…read moreand chose this Homewood Suites location over other brand hotels as we were traveling with our son and wanted to be able to have separate rooms. It's an all suites hotel so it served that need. The room itself on appearance was very nice, perhaps recently refurbished and felt clean and modern. We had a couple experiences which made it a little weird though. The rooms have motion detecting lights that you can only sort of control. The shower for example...the light turns off when you're in the shower as it doesn't sense your motion and there's no way (obvious to us) to force it to stay on. That was a bummer for the 2 of us who wanted to shower but had to do so in the dark unless we opened the shower door and waved our arm around to hopefully catch the attention of the sensor to give us another 30 seconds of light. This also happens if you're sitting on the toilet. The last thing I want to think about in that situation is having to provide additional motion so the light doesn't turn out. In the living space, a light also automatically turns on when it senses motion. Not great for having our son trying to sleep in that room and us having to move through it to leave the room or access the kitchen to have all the lights suddenly turn on around our sleeping boy. Also had a disappointing non-fitness room experience. The fitness room was no accessible because of renovations...okay bad luck in terms of timing...but they said I could go to the adjacent Hampton Inn and use their fitness room which was open 24 hours. So I did, but, unfortunately their fitness room actually isn't open 24 hours as I learned when I got there. So no fitness room and wasted time walking in the rain to the hotel next door based in the inaccurate info given by the staff. So overall disappointing and strange (especially the lights situation)...seems like they forget to dot a few Is when setting these rooms up.
